MY HERO!

Hubby Dear is afraid of spiders...yes that's right....I said spiders, doesn't matter how big or small, they send him running like a wussy. Keep in mind that he works in peoples basements, spider heaven, for a living. Well the other day we were on our way to camp, we'd stopped at a gas station to get gas for the lawn mower, hubby, my hero, got back into the van and felt a spider web cross his face, just pulled at it and thought nothing of it. Well I looked and he had a spider about the size of a quarter crawling on his shoulder...I said something like "ooh...ooh...ooh...spider"!, He starts to jump out of the van, without putting it in park, it starts rolling, he jumps back in just long enough to put it in park...then jumps out again and starts jumping up and down looking for the spider. It is now crawling down the side of his seat...he makes me get out of the car, go to his side, take my shoe off and kill the damned spider...all the while pointing at the stupid thing and shrieking. The best part was that a friend of ours was coming around the corner and saw the whole thing...I have a witness. It was a riot!!
I also have to sweep the spiders down from the porch...DAILY...or he won't come inside! Guess if I decide I ever want to get rid of him all I have to do is STOP doing spider patrol.
